So a friend of mine recommended Obsidian ages ago and I looked at it but thought I was happy using Joplin (another text-based note tool) which I still think is a great app. Took a brief look at it and thought it was just too complicated…...
Let me start: So basically I was in really cheap, crappy hotel which had a pool but the walls around it had some really bad mold. The first room I got smelt like cigarette smoke and the sheets had stains all over it. The second room was MUCH better thank god.
Corporations like Meta have shown time and time again that they cannot be trusted to play nice with anyone else. Have we already forgotten about Cambridge Analytica or the plethora of other scandals they’ve been at the center of? The proof has been in plain view for a while now.
Okay, but that doesn’t address any of the points I brought up.
You said to give Meta a chance. The rest of us are broadly gesturing at all the shit they’ve done in the past, and how we want as little to do with that as possible.
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like it would be trivially easy for Meta to make an army of bot accounts to manipulate whichever posts they want into being near the top of people’s feeds. That could be regular ads disguised as normal posts (a la Reddit-style guerilla marketing), or even more political astroturfing.
I have the Valve Index and I’m looking to experiment with using Linux as a daily driver (again). I’ve tried the latest version of Pop!_OS since I heard people have had good experiences with that, but I get various errors when starting SteamVR (some bluetooth errors, and some others that I don’t remember the codes for) that...
Hmm, I’ve just tried a fresh install of Manjaro and it’s exhibiting the same problems as Pop. It could be something to do with my setup? Or maybe there’s some other Linux fuckery going on? It’s strange though, since Windows works just fine.
When launching SteamVR my headset turns on but all I see is a grey screen. In the left eye there’s a very glitchy image of my desktop that flickers rapidly. Disabling asynchronous reprojection fixes the flickering desktop but the view is still completely grey.
Also, my base stations don’t wake up when launching SteamVR. Trying to scan for them results in it find them but being unable to connect (with an unhelpful error message that says “failed to connect” or something along those lines). I assume the lack of base station connectivity is causing the grey screen in the headset, but I’m not sure how to get them to connect.
I’ve tried using lh.py to get them to wake up, but there’s some Bluetooth error that happens that I haven’t figured out yet: bluepy.btle.BTLEManagementError: Failed to execute management command ‘le on’ (code: 17, error: Invalid Index). I read somewhere that this might be because the Index’s Bluetooth chip doesn’t work on Linux and that I may have to buy a separate Bluetooth adapter :/
Can I just say how awesome Obsidian is?

What is your worst experience in a hotel?
